Most important thing is FUN in this game,i'm playing the game again on impossible difficulty currently and i didn't get bored still and you will not get bored too i think.
Overall imo best game in the series.I think you should try it out :)
If you don't like tower defense games, or you don't know if you do, watch some videos or play some free ones first to see if the genre interests you. If you like the genre, all KR games are essential.
The tower mechanics in this one are a bit different from the others. On previous entries the player upgraded the base tower and then chose a tower specialization. That doesn't exist here. Each tower is already what would be akin to a tower specialization. So, now you simply upgrade each tower normally during a stage until you unlock it's three special skills. That creates another layer of strategy in how you approach each stage because there are 18 types of towers total, you unlock them as you progress the game, but you can only equip 5 of them at any time. That makes it important to choose the right combination of towers and heroes to tackle the different stages and, from what I've seen of other people's experiences, multiple strategies are viable.
The star upgrades are different too. Before you unlocked up to 3 stars by finishing the main stages and then 1 star each for completing heroic and iron challenges. Now you can only unlock up to 3 stars on the main stages, the heroic and iron challenges are there just for the fun of it (and the achievements) and there are less star upgrades. Whereas before you had a upgrade tree for each type of tower and one for summons and another for the spell, now you have 4 upgrade trees. 1 for all the towers together, 1 for the heroes, 1 for the summons and a last one for the spell.
On the heroes front, they're all cool and viable but the dragons, especially Eiskalt but also Murglun and, to a slightly lesser degree, Beresad are what I would describe as self-sufficient. Other heroes need support, either from a specific strategy or from a tower setup in order for their strengths to shine. With the dragons you can just brute force your way through the stages and they fit in any sort of strategy you might want to use. They're not exactly overpowered (well, Eiskalt kinda is), but they do not have any noticeable weaknesses like the other heroes do.
That's everything I can think of, I guess. If you liked your time with the previous games, chances are you'll like this one too.
I personally think they should not have charged more, even though I'm a fan and I bought at release. I do not feel it has significantly more content to justify a higher cost. The upgrade tree is less detailed, for example, and there are only 13 heroes when both Origins and Frontiers had 16 (though this was after the free DLC eventually dropped, I do not know how much, if any, free DLC is coming for Vengeance).
But even if there is free DLC, the hero screen is laid out such that there is only 1 empty slot to fill up, so probably only 14 heroes total regardless.
This is all just my opinion. But it's still a good game, and easily worth it for tower defense fans, especially on sale.
